Gnaeus Domitius

Gnaeus Domitius was a Roman augur who lived during the 1st century AD. He took the auspices for Augustus' heir Gaius Caesar before he left for Syria, seeing a bright future, although finding his death inexplicable. In 3 AD, while en route to Formiae, he visited Julia the Elder, and he interpreted Claudius' rescue of a wounded wolf cub (which Domitius claimed had represented Rome, founded by the twins Romulus and Remus, who were raised by a she-wolf) as meaning that Claudius would one day save a wretched Rome.
